No Compromise

No Compromise

To choose between two human ills,

Beneath the influence of wills

That could care less who evil kills,

Choose with no compromise.

To speak a word in favor of

The right to joy and joy of love

For humankind, by action prove:

Speak with no compromise.

To move against a human wrong,

Go not too swift nor wait too long,

But brave and wise confront the throng:

Move with no compromise.

To fight the evil that would rise

Within the world to steal the prize

Of human hearts – though soldier dies

Fight with no compromise.

To learn how learning is to live

And gain knowledge by what you give

So others in your light may thrive

Learn with no compromise.

To hope that goodness must be real,

Enough to see, to hear, to feel -

To be, though no sense can reveal

Hope with no compromise.

To trust and in that trust, to place

The future of the human race

Within the perfect hands of Grace

Trust with no compromise.
